A new way forward for a more sustainable future born from tradition. The Good Design winning Gato Woodworks Collection, known for its stunning lacquered Tsumugi Wooden Bowls, Sinafu Stand Bowls, and Karmi Tea Canisters, takes 500 years of tradition and innovates a new line with fine wood powder byproduct, known as Mirai Wood.
By shaping the wood powder with biodegradable resin by hand, these vessels honor the cycle of nature rather than deplete it.
"This bowl series perfectly represents what excites me about the future of product creation. Designed through a collaboration between GATO Woodwork’s long-loved craftsmanship and forward-thinking material innovation, MIRAIWOOD® is made from upcycled industrial wood waste blended with biodegradable resin certified as Biomass 70. The result is a 100% recyclable, circular resource that is beautifully designed and deeply thoughtful. Using zelkova wood by-products generated during GATO’s production, these bowls feel like a meaningful step toward responsible design for the next generation." - Yuka Morihata
